A lack of fire hydrants delayed Lugoff Fire-Rescue (LF-R) crews getting more water to battle a two-story house fire on Lander Lane in Lugoff’s Hunter Crossing subdivision shortly after midnight Wednesday. LF-R Chief Dennis Ray said it is not uncommon for hydrants in rural subdivisions to be placed more than 1,000 feet apart, making it tough for firefighters to do their jobs. Responding to calls from area residents, Ray said when LF-R Engine 10 arrived, crews found heavy smoke in the front of the home and the occupants safely evacuated in the front yard.
